Cannot install in dev mode with python 3.12 about ihatemoney HOT 4 CLOSED

@azmeuk It looks like an issue with hatchling and/or babel, could you have a look?

In the meantime I am disabling the failing python 3.12 job in our CI.

Ah yes, we met this in wtforms too because Babel 2.14 does not rely on setuptools anymore. The solution was to add a special setuptools dependency for python 3.12.

Related Babel changelog entry

Babel no longer directly depends on either distutils or setuptools; if you had been
using the Babel setuptools command extensions, you would need to explicitly depend on setuptools –
though given you're running setup.py you probably already do.

@zorun do you want me to open a PR?

Nice, thanks. Yes, a PR would be appreciated. You can re-enable the disabled CI test in the same PR (look at "exclude:")

Out of curiosity, why does it work with older Python versions? Maybe they were bundling setuptools?

from ihatemoney.

Yes, the Python 3.12 changelog mentions it:

PEP 632: Remove the distutils package. See the migration guide for advice replacing the APIs it provided. The third-party Setuptools package continues to provide distutils, if you still require it in Python 3.12 and beyond.
